ONE WORLD

There's a universal truth

Mankind shares with one another

In the innocence of youth

We believe that we'll discover

 

Paradise lost

But all we really find to our cost

When we open our eyes

 

We’re living in One World

This realm without borders

Brothers and sisters under one sky

 

Depending on One World

For giving us shelter

Hoping and dreaming, just staying alive in

One World

 

in One World

in One World

in One World

 

Every minute, every hour

There's another revolution

In the struggle for the power

We all hope for resolution

 

So isn't it true

We reap just what we sow

Gotta pay our dues

Just being alive

 

DOUBLE CHORUS

 

Start living in One World

This realm without borders

Brothers and sisters under one sky

 

Depending on One World

For giving us shelter

Hoping and dreaming, just staying alive

 

Children of One World

Mothers and Fathers

River and Mountains unified

 

Living off One World

Share in the heavens

Joining in Harmony

Side by side

in One World

 

in One World

in One World

in One World

 

Start living in One World

This Realm without borders

Brothers and Sisters

Under one sky

Turning on One World

Day follows Night time

Scratching a living

One Day at a time
